Can it be used as a door/wall gate too? Can you use this as a gate, I need to create a wall to keep them out of the living room until potty trained.

Yes. It is quite easy to link two or more panels together to creat a larger straight gate.

It isn't designed for indoor use as the dog probably could not enter the room or house with the unit on. It is made for outdoor use and when it's working correctly it is perfect for keeping them inside the barrier. The area covered is way bigger than a couch!!!!

You really can't because there is nothing in the ends to hold in place like an actual gate. Unless you have the perfect fit for one panel I don't recommend using it as a gate. It's very light also. Could be easily knocked down.

My husband put this gate up because we have a dog, and I liked the design. Also because I wusnted something that would swing open. The easy lach is a big plus. But we have it installed at the top of the stairs. We have a new grand baby, and my concern, is when she gets old enought to crawl/ walk. Is the latch going to be strong enought to keep the gate from breaking open ? I don't want it to be something I have to worry about, her falling doun the stairs. It's screwed into the studs of the doorway on both sides. But I need answeres. Thanks Tammy

Yes, this can just be adhered to a wall instead of a door. There is no hole for the door knob but it is not difficult to make a small hole for the mechanism to fit through. Remove the door knob first and do not make the hole any bigger than the hole in the door so the shield on the handle hides it.

Absolutely. I use mine in just that way and it is perfect. That said, if you have very large dogs, say, rotties, no gate may do the job. This gate is sturdy and beautiful as well.

Yes, teh baby gate came with both the tension screws and screws that could be used to permanently mount the gate to the wall. We used the screww in to the wall option because we are using it for dogs and we didn't want them to be able to push it over. Hope this helps, we love the gate.

I used this gate at the top of a stairway, with the one side attached to the wall and the opening side overlapping the bannister and a divider on the other side of the stairway opening. Unable to visualize your setup, though, I can't answer that question.

I haven't tried. After my son ripped it out of the wall, I use it as a temp dog gate when I come home from the grocery store.

This is a wall mount gate, so it is possible to use it at the top or bottom of stairs, provided you have a wall and/or sturdy post to mount it to. I would not recommend trying to attach it to a carved or decorative bannister post, however.

We have ours between the kitchen(galley style) and the living room. One side is on the wall and the other at the kitchen cabinet. We never had any problem. It works great for us. Our big lab sometimes try to open the gate with his head but never worked for him. You can also just close the gate or use the red part on top of it to lock it.

Absolutely could be used in a hallway rather than top of stairs. The gate includes mounting hardware that easily can be used in the middle of the hallway. We have our gate mounted about 3 feet down the hall from the top of our stairs and that works great. For robustness of the mounting you may want to ensure that you're either mounting to something solid (like studs) or using wall anchors of some sort.

Possibly. You'll need to install a piece of wood or something to attach the one end of the gate too (metal banister side). The directions for this gate are terrible!! I would suggest finding a gate that is tension mounted instead if possible.

Slide bar by pushing forward a bit (towards the gate) and sliding it into the latch. You can put a padlock thru the hole if that isn't enough for you. I'm sure just sliding the bar over is more than adequate protection. They will jump over fence if they want to get in that bad!

With practice they should be able to open it. It is harder to close in my opinion since you have to line up the bottom and top of the gate. Even if they only close the top and the bottom is sticking out and not in its proper spot the gate still holds shut very well. I have a 2 1/2 & 4 year old and both can open & close it (however our gate is almost 3 years old and the top closure [triangle thing] is worn). We use our gate mainly to keep the dog out of our downstairs so we haven't kept up with keeping the gate maintained.

If you want them to be abl to get out, you could use the ramp. If not keep the gate closed. Ours have never escaped.
